Introduction
Pixelogy Network partnered with Aegasis Labs to develop a realtime identity verification and liveness detection solution for their platform. They are an online capital raising platform that allows for digital securities issuance and management. Spoofing attempts (printed photos, screen replays, deepfakes) threatened platform integrity. Identity verification is a key component for a platform that allows capital raising and investment, ensuring trust, compliance, and security for both issuers and investors.
The company was looking for an AI technology partner who could design and deploy a secure, automated, and scalable KYC (Know Your Customer) system that would improve user onboarding without affecting user experience. Based on our expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Application development, they partnered with us to integrate this solution. To support compliant capital raising, they needed a fast, reliable way to verify the identities of investors and issuers while keeping the onboarding experience smooth. An intelligent verification solution capable of performing real-time identity checks.
Aegasis Labs designed, developed, and delivered the solution with the following features:
- AI-powered identity verification completed in seconds with high accuracy
- Robust liveness detection preventing spoofing, impersonation, or fraudulent attempts
- Automated KYC checks for both investors and issuers, ensuring compliance with regulations
- 99% accuracy in document authenticity checks and face matching across diverse geographies
- Frictionless onboarding for investors and issuers.
- Scalable cloud-native architecture supporting large transaction volumes securely
The Story of Pixelogy Network
Pixelogy Network is a fintech company for digital securities issuances and management. They allow secure and reliable capital raising services for both investors and issuers on their platform. Their primary goal was to become market leaders as a digital securities and management platform. Digital securities platform required to have compliant, secure, and lightning-fast onboarding where issuers raise capital and investors participate at scale. To succeed, Pixelogy needed identity verification that could keep pace with digital transactions, block fraud attempts, and meet strict KYC/AML requirements without creating user friction.
The vision was an easy registration process where a user proves who they are in seconds, the platform trusts the result, and regulators see a clean proof of evidence. This required an AI-powered automated Identity Verification system with Liveness detection to prevent fraud. It needs to be reliable, secure, and scalable as the business grows. By integrating document verification, liveness detection, and risk checks directly into the onboarding experience, Pixelogy can accelerate approvals, avoid frauds, and provide better customer experience.
The Opportunity
The digital securities industry faces a critical challenge: ensuring trust, compliance, and security at scale while enabling seamless user experiences. Traditional identity verification processes are often slow, manual, and prone to errors, creating friction for both investors and issuers. This not only delays onboarding but also increases the risk of fraud, identity theft, and non-compliance with strict KYC/AML regulations.
As capital raising and investment activities are shifting to digital platforms, the need for fast, accurate, and fraud-resistant identity verification has become important. Investors expect instant access, while regulators demand higher levels of scrutiny. Without a proper solution, platforms risk losing users to friction, suffering reputational damage, or facing compliance penalties.
The global rise in digital transactions and remote onboarding has further increased this gap. Identity fraud attempts are becoming more sophisticated, leveraging deepfakes, spoofing, and stolen documents. Platforms in highly regulated sectors like digital securities need AI-powered solutions that can not only detect fraud in real time but also scale seamlessly with user demand.
Pixelogy Network recognized this opportunity to transform identity verification from a cost center into a competitive advantage. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence, they aimed to reduce onboarding times from days to seconds, build investor confidence, and position their platform as a trusted gateway for digital capital markets.
The Solution
Aegasis Labs designed and developed a real-time, AI-based Identity Verification (IDV) and Liveness platform for Pixelogy Network. The solution combines advanced computer vision, document forensics, and implementation of KYC/AML checks to deliver instant decisions with enterprise-grade security. Built as cloud-native application, the platform scales as the user base grows while maintaining low latency and auditability across regulated workflows.
We Worked with Pixelogy, to design and integrate an advanced AI powered Identity verification system for their platform, powered by computer vision, OCR/NLP, and Artificial Intelligence based fraud prevention features,
- Automated document authenticity checks OCR and visual forensics validate government IDs (MRZ/barcodes/holograms), detect tampering, and standardize data extraction across countries.
- Guided capture for passports, national IDs, and driver’s licenses with real-time quality checks (glare, blur, crop).
- Automated KYC checks that combine document data, facial match results, and watchlist/PEP/sanctions screening.
- AI system with 99% accuracy in Identity Verification and Liveness Detection
- Cloud based AI powered verification solution with 100% uptime and auto scaling capability.
- OCR & MRZ parsing to extract structured attributes; document authenticity signals (hologram/laminate cues, template validation).
- Face match & liveness detection 1:1 selfie-to-ID match plus spoof-resistant liveness (blink/motion, texture, challenge-response) to block deepfakes and presentation attacks.
- Frictionless UX Mobile-first capture, retry guidance, and localization to reduce drop-offs and complete onboarding in seconds.
- face matching compares selfie to ID photo with calibrated thresholds and explainable scores.
- Secure, compliant operations Data encryption in transit/at rest, role-based access, PII tokenization, and retention controls aligned with SOC 2/GDPR best practices.
- Full audit trail: inputs, model scores, reviewer actions, and reasons captured for compliance evidence.
Technologies used:
- Python (FastAPI) for verification and decisioning services
- PyTorch/TensorFlow for face match, liveness, and document-forensics models
- OpenCV & Tesseract OCR for image processing and data extraction
- Node.js/TypeScript for SDKs and partner integration APIs
- Docker & Kubernetes for containerization, autoscaling, and blue-green deployments
- AWS (EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFront, KMS, Step Functions) for secure, scalable cloud infrastructure
The Results
Aegasis Labs designed, built, and delivered the AI-powered Identity Verification and Liveness platform for Pixelogy Network with the following features:
- Automated Identity verification with realtime selfie detection to onboard users in minutes, as compared to manual verification.
- 99% accuracy in document authenticity checks and face matching across diverse geographies
- Reduced drop-offs: Guided capture, inline quality feedback, and fewer steps improve completion rates and user satisfaction
- Robust fraud prevention, with realtime liveness detection blocking deepfakes and spoofing attempts
- Scalable cloud-native infrastructure capable of handling hundreds of concurrent onboarding sessions with zero downtime
- Frictionless user experience, delivering a smooth mobile-first process that significantly reduced drop-offs
- Comprehensive auditability providing regulators and partners with transparent logs, risk scoring, and secure data handling.
